This was an estate sale buy and I thought it was new in package, but it has a dent and there is some blackness inside pipe which I assume is exhaust residue, but possibly is made that way, I have no idea. I am guessing it was lightly used and then got the dent and whoever replaced it put this one in the plastic MB package. Anyway, I see these listed around $200 new so I thought I would list "as is" and see if anyone wanted it. Exterior chrome is excellent.
